Tony: I believe your firewall and mine are the same. I was trying to compare those firewalls with Mark's (msmaron)'s firewall. His appears to have that seam for the gas tank much lower, and his heater is lined up right at that seam. On mine, the hole for the heater door is much lower than that seam.

Yes, mine does have the waffle type manifold made for the Autolite heater, but it was really the position of the seam between the tank and the lower part of the firewall on his car that I was wanting to point out.

Edit: Now that I look closely at Mark's picture #3 it looks like he has two seams in his firewall. Mine only has the one seam between the tank and the firewall.
